About Samantha

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With over 30 years of experience, I bring a patient, creative approach to supporting families and fostering healthy development in children ages newborn through 12. My background as a Certified Teacher, complemented by my Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework, allows me to provide high-quality, reliable care for up to four children. I am happy to assist with carpooling and creative crafts, and I am trained in First Aid and CPR. I value clear communication and follow your preferred method for daily updates, while always honoring your specific household rules. I enjoy engaging children through outdoor sports, puzzles, and educational games that spark learning. I look forward to the opportunity to become a trusted, positive influence in your family's life.

Samantha was fantastic with my 3 kids! As a single mom she made me feel safe leaving the kids in her care. They were always happy, engaged and loved the time with her.
